A review on the advancements of graphitic carbon nitride-based photoelectrodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting
This review offers a comprehensive depiction of g-C3N4-based materials for PEC water splitting. The fundamentals of PEC water splitting, along with the applications of g-C3N4-based materials as photoanodic and photocathodic materials are discussed.

Bimetallic and plasmonic Ag and Cu integrated TiO2 thin films for enhanced solar hydrogen production in direct sunlight
Plasmonic metal nanoparticle integrated mesoporous TiO2 nanocomposites (Ag/TiO2, Cu/TiO2 and Ag–Cu/TiO2), prepared by a simple chemical reduction method, have been demonstrated to show superior activity in thin-film form for solar H2 generation.

Untapped potential of scrap brass alloy: a new frontier in the use of brass-based photocathodes for stable and durable photoelectrochemical water splitting
Photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is a promising way to produce green hydrogen. Finding a stable photocathode is important to the development of (PEC) water splitting. This work aims to use scrap brass alloy as a stable photocathode.

Simulations for charge transfer and photocurrent calculations using hematite for green hydrogen production
Using the split-operator method to simulate wave propagation, it is possible to calculate the hole flux to the surface in hematite OER catalysis. The flux can then be translated to photocurrent to predict the dependence of voltage on photocurrent.

A novel technological blue hydrogen production process: industrial sorption enhanced autothermal membrane (ISEAM)
We model a novel industrial blue hydrogen production process, the industrial sorption enhanced autothermal membrane (ISEAM) process, with the potential to produce constant fuel cell grade hydrogen with 99.99% purity, regardless of upstream process upsets
Paper
Silicon atom doping in heterotrimetallic sulfides for non-noble metal alkaline water electrolysis
The engineering of a pentlandite (Fe3Co3Ni3S8, FCNS) doped with silicon (FCNSSi) for water splitting is demonstrated. At 500 mA cm−2, a two-electrode zero-gap cell assembly demonstrates the FCNSSi catalyst's promise for practical applications.

Activation of hydrogen-evolution reactivity in an Rh-doped SrTiO3 photocatalyst under visible-light irradiation by loading with controlled platinum nanoclusters
The photocatalytic hydrogen-evolution activity of hydrophilic Pt nanocluster-loaded SrTiO3:Rh was improved to 30% compared to that prepared by the conventional method.
Paper
Hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions on single atom catalysts stabilized by a covalent organic framework
Catalytic activity for HER and OER of SAC made by TM atoms embedded in COF were investigated. They often form stable unconventional intermediates, and these species can be more stable than classical HER and OER adducts.
